Stolen from David McIntee, and completely apropos for today: Stop talking about politics for a moment or two. Post a reasonably-sized picture in your blog, not under a cut tag, of something pleasant, such as an adorable kitten, or a fluffy white cloud, or a bottle of booze. Something that has nothing to do withContinue reading “On An Antidote to Politics”

On Clothes For Palin
Science fiction author Robin Wayne Bailey has an interesting idea: In Ormond Beach, Florida today, John McCain was asked several times about the $150,000 spent on Sarah Palin’s wardrobe. Each time, McCain answered with basically the same remarks, to wit, that Sarah Palin needed the clothes. I want to start a national movement, andContinue reading “On Clothes For Palin”

On the Dreamy Idealist
Seen around the blogosphere today, a personality test! (The graphic is clickable, by the way. In case you’re curious what a “Dreamy Idealist” is.) Personally, I prefer being Ireland. Or “All You Need Is Love.” 😉 Blogged with the Flock Browser
